I actually haven't even driven it since I put them on. I've been out of the country for work. I was thinking about setting it at -3 degrees. Not my daily driver so I don't care about tire wear.

I couldn't tell ya. I haven't driven in the rain with these tire without it. So I have no comparison. I did however drive through a puddle deep enough to shot water over my car the other night. LOL LOL Car stayed straight as an arrow.

On a plus side. Cornering at 120+km/h feels like I'm on rails now. And I have all kinds over oversteer if I'm not on the throttle or have to lift mid corner. But that's also because I put some cut Ford Aerostar rear spring in the back. They're freaking stiff is all I can say. I would guess the rate to be north of 400lbs/in.

According to Toyota, using the 2010 models as reference, the 3 door hatch weighs 2lbs less than the sedan, which weighs 7 pounds less than the 5 door hatch. All manual transmissions. In order as mentioned: 2311 2313 2320
